LOL ----------------------------------- I might figure this out as I go over what settings I changed but just thought I would ask if anyone here has an idea what would do this. The problem I am having is that every page other than forum.php is fluid and will shrink with screen size, however the forum page is locked at like 1000px wide. :? If I can figure this out myself I will let you all know what I think it may be, I am running the beta-2 however I think this may apply to all. Site I am having problems with is the one linked in my profile. (or the WWW button below) No big deal though, just curious what you think. ----------------------------------- spydie Fri 20 Jan, 2012 12:13 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- hm look´s like a navigator thingy in FF i see forum.php fixed to nav window [img]http://www.icyphoenix.com/files/images/6197/ff.png[/img] in chrome its stretched about double wide [img]http://www.icyphoenix.com/files/images/6197/chrome_png.png[/img] probably an CSS thing ----------------------------------- mort Fri 20 Jan, 2012 12:45 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do?

[b]"Similar Topics"[/b] Below may help also ;) ----------------------------------- Joshua203 Fri 20 Jan, 2012 15:59 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- I think you should just change global-wrapper [strike]and wrapper[/strike] to get full width. Funny sidenote is that only Safari and Chroome are affected and neither of these show the right border of the page! no matter if you scroll ...that could be a clue :wink: ----------------------------------- spydie Fri 20 Jan, 2012 16:35 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- hm. set wrapper to 100% or less if i´m not wrong global_wrapper and wrapper are set to 980px by default and it say´s !important afterwards try to change that to 100% or less ----------------------------------- Hans Fri 20 Jan, 2012 19:26 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- :mryellow: Thank you guys! I figured it out! If you enable "Quick Settings > Full Features" in ACP it will happen, then if you disable "Main Settings > SQL Optimization > Shoutbox :: Who Is Online" it goes away. ----------------------------------- Joshua203 Fri 20 Jan, 2012 19:45 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- Maybe a silly remark but "it goes away" is not it's fixed :oops: I know I know I'm picky :mrblue: it just may be a good idea to look why imho ----------------------------------- mort Fri 20 Jan, 2012 21:48 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- I agree with Joshua - The topic should be BUG - (Not Solved) until it actually is solved? And it looks a lot like either fixed width is being used where it shouldn't be, or white-space: nowrap is ?? ----------------------------------- spydie Sat 21 Jan, 2012 00:11 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- [code linenumbers=false]/* main selectors */ body { background: #ffffff; /*background: #ffffff url('images/ice/bg_body.gif') top left repeat-x;*/ margin: 0px 0px 0px 0; padding: 0px 10px 0px; } #global-wrapper { /* width: 980px !important; clear: both; margin: 0 auto; */ }[/code] thats what style_ice.css says as you´ll notice width is commented ----------------------------------- mort Sat 21 Jan, 2012 01:08 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- What Hans could do is in the "Default" overall_header.tpl or whatever it's called these days? Find: (Just for a quick test to see if the problem still exists).
Replace with:
In overall_footer.tpl Find: Before Add:
If the 80% centre's and it's fine - Then expand it to 100% and see what happens next? I don't use Safari or Chrome, and I'm not about to install them just to test this. ;) It would also be a whole lot easier if Hans would put it back up with the faults and all that it was before - because "HIDING" the faults with a beta release makes it a damn site harder to determine what is actually happening. ----------------------------------- Hans Sat 21 Jan, 2012 03:23 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- You guys are correct, I just flipped the [solved] on because I already felt like a pain in the rear. I don't have permission to re-edit it though to change to [bug] though. And seeing as it would now be classified as a bug I will do more testing to be sure that is exactly what is causing that. I can say that I have made no modifications to the base code since the upgrade, so this is a "standard" install. Thanks again, and feel free to edit my title if you can. ----------------------------------- mort Sat 21 Jan, 2012 05:48 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do?

[b]Edit:[/b] [b][i]Done and tested.[/i][/b] Just do this for now as I explained before, and worry about the "Official CSS" later. Header blah!
Footer: Blah!

LOL ----------------------------------- Strange thing is I am having a hard time replicating the problem with consistent results. I was able to make it happen again, but not exactly after enabling "Full Features" I will test other configurations and see if I can come up with anything more specific. I should also test this with other "styles" too right? ----------------------------------- mort Sun 22 Jan, 2012 07:37 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- I found the problem with Chrome was when one clicked the full screen/reduce button in the top left-hand corner - A lot of the template just disappeared from the right-hand side of the screen, and one had to then use the bottom scroll bar to read it. With the "Fix" I did - the whole screen reduced to fit the now reduced viewing area. ;) ----------------------------------- Hans Sun 22 Jan, 2012 07:48 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- Awesome! I noticed that also! You just confirmed what I was thinking. So to replicate the problem someone would need to enable "full features" and then reduce a full-screen window on Chrome. [strike]I would have had those edits you mentioned in place but somebody stopped to visit at my house, I will go edit those now. :)[/strike] Thanks [b]mort[/b]! EDIT: [hr] Okay, I finished the suggested edits, [strike]the footer did not require any though[/strike]. I will include both files below though. [spoiler]templates/default/overall_header.tpl [code linenumbers=true] {DOCTYPE_HTML} {EXTRA_CSS_JS}
{TOP_HTML_BLOCK} {gheader_blocks_row.CMS_BLOCK} {PAGE_BEGIN} [/code] templates/default/overall_footer.tpl [code linenumbers=true]

{IMG_TBL} {IMG_TBR}
{PAGE_END} {gfooter_blocks_row.CMS_BLOCK} {BOTTOM_HTML_BLOCK} {RUN_CRON_TASK}
{GOOGLE_ANALYTICS} [/code][/spoiler] Cleared cache, works ok! Borders are little wider after that but that's ok. :) 2ND EDIT: (Changed edit in overall_header) New edit; [code linenumbers=false]
[/code] Forum page will be wide after re-sizing from full-screen, however refreshing the page now fixes that with the above edit thanks to [b]Mort[/b]. :banana_04: ----------------------------------- mort Sun 22 Jan, 2012 10:26 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do?

{GOOGLE_ANALYTICS} [/code] As far as the title, I can't change that. :( ----------------------------------- mort Sun 22 Jan, 2012 11:13 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- Two things. Why do you feel you have to deviate from the suggested code below and add the footer
before {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS} ? It may work for this - It may work for that - But one day {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS} may displace the closing
and only create more problems - Or some other browser gets stuffed up trying to work out where the closing tag is? :cry:
[quote=hans]As far as the title, I can't change that.[/quote] You started the thread, then all you should need to do is edit the first post and change the "Title" - Or am I in the wrong forum here - because I'm getting easily confused these days as to what forum I'm on, supporting or being banned from? :mryellow: ----------------------------------- Joshua203 Sun 22 Jan, 2012 14:33 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- I've tried reproducing this together with TheSteffen and failed but since you seem to be able to ..I've moved this to the bugs forum for now anyway :wink: EDIT: sorry for jugling with the wrong thread Mort :oops: ----------------------------------- mort Sun 22 Jan, 2012 23:27 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do? LOL ----------------------------------- I wouldn't worry about moving the thread etc - So long as it's not public - Otherwise I would have said [b][i]"Pussyfooting" [/i][/b] :mryellow: Anyway - Back on topic. I've got four pics here that shows what's happening both with the "default" and why
would be needed, because Chrome needs to have some sort of width applied for it, that of course will affect all templates using the "default-blah.tpl's etc. [img]http://www.icyphoenix.com/files/images/8840/untitled_1.png[/img] [img]http://www.icyphoenix.com/files/images/8840/untitled_3.png[/img] [img]http://www.icyphoenix.com/files/images/8840/untitled_2.png[/img] [img]http://www.icyphoenix.com/files/images/8840/untitled_4.png[/img] ----------------------------------- Hans Mon 23 Jan, 2012 00:42 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do?

Had a couple beers last night, that may not have helped any either. :beer: The title I was not able to edit (more than once) using the "title edit" box at the bottom. If the title prefix is used for sorting then amending a prefix to the actual title will not help as the title and prefix are contained in separate DB tables. [/ot] I did move that closing tag though for you, just have not edited the previous posts here. ----------------------------------- mort Mon 23 Jan, 2012 09:42 Re: Forum Page Really Wide, What Did I Do?

[i][color=red]Maybe that should be added to the "Bug List" too?[/color][/i] :roll: Or start a new thread [b][i]"[REALLY NOT SOLVED YET] Blah"[/i][/b] - So that one could expect some further response to the original question. :lol: Anyway, I don't want to get off-topic for not knowing how the "Title Status Block" works, but I felt that I did owe you an apology. :P
